Eats Squid
Not talking about handlebars. I'm asking about energy bars you eat.
So, with the race season kicking off soon, I am struggling with a technique for eating on the go. I just can't seem to get any of the bars unwrapped and eaten without having to stop and wrestle with the bloody wrappers. I always make sure I don't drop the wrapper on the trail.
I have tried pre opening bars and putting them in a top tube mounted bag, but this was a disaster, as they all just stuck together and became one gooey sticky mess.
I ride mostly marathon and 6 hour type events. Some tracks give you plenty of road time which makes it easy, while others make it hard to take your hands from the bars for more than a few seconds. I can survive on liquid fuels, but I do prefer to eat along the way as I am usually out there for a long time.
So what do you do? How do you eat your bars? What else can you eat on the go?
Also what bars do you recommend? I would prefer ones that are not chocolate and are going to melt. What is there texture like? Are they hard to chew/eat?
